3:10 to Yuma

[Jenster]

Come come, now. Has NO one seen this film?

"3:10 to Yuma" is a beautifully told (though quite violent, lots of shooting) Western about a bad guy, a good guy and how the two help each other redeem themselves. Russell Crowe and Christian Bale star, along with Peter Fonda (go figure), Luke Wilson and others. Nicely done!

I haven't seen it yet. Is it a pretty R-rated movie? The last western I saw was Open Range, also an R, but it only seemed like a PG-13 movie if even that. Was wondering because we thought it might be a movie my grandparents would like, but we don't want to take them to something super R-rated.
How would it compare in violence to Open Range? (if you've seen in)

Haven't seen Open Range, but 3:10 to Yuma is pretty violent--lots of shooting. If you can stomach it, the movie is pretty good.

I really, really want to see it! But I read that the language in it is pretty profane, is that true? Because I'm not going to see it if it's going to have a lot of dirty language in it. I hate a bunch language. However, violence doesn't bother me one bit. I'm all for action. Westerns are my favorite movie genre.

Bad language too. Yep.

 

[Miss Spaulding]

That stinks.

 

[Ioustinos]

Saw it opening weekend and it was a great movie!!!

 

[Jenster]

Hm, I just remember the shooting, not the language.

 

[Jeriel]

Bad language too. Yep.

Dang. Hate it when they do that.

The better version is the original movie made in the 50's starring Glenn Ford. We did see the latest version with Russell Crowe as Wade (the same part played by Ford) I thought the extreme violence of the new version especially the final scenes was over done and something which distracted from the story. But the original is much more realistic, less graphic, and just as well acted.

man...they just don't realize good movies can be made without that stuff

I thought it was a really good modern western. I haven't seen many good modern ones lately.
I'm partial to Christian Bale though too; I think he's one of the greatest ever.
I don't really remember language.

Just saw it last weekend. Far from the best western in the past 2 decades. Didn't have anything to do with violence or language. Just didn't grab me like others have. Unforgiven reigns supreme IMHO.

Anyone who is more offended by "dirty" language than by living beings being killed or maimed, needs to take a long hard look at their priorities.

I really didn't like this movie I thought it was too slow moving.

Invisible Violet: Thank God I'm not alone!!! lol

I didn't like 3:10 to Yuma. I thought the plot was shaky at best, and carried on the shoulders of the two main actors far too much. I thought the father son dynamic was cheesy and overdrawn, and the ending bummed me out. Basically it reminded me of a slasher flick where you predict who's gonna be taken out next, and the only one left standing in the end is the bad guy who gets away anyway.

I finally saw it, I thought it was pretty good. It did drag on a little, but I liked the general plot idea and the cast especially. I actually don't remember much language.

 

[campfire12]

Loved it....Russell Crowe is the man....

 

[liketotalk]

Good movie......thumbs up! I would have enjoyed it a lot more had there been less violence though. This was the first R rated movie I've seen in almost three years. This definitely earned the R rating with the amount of violence.

Both Christian Bale and Russel Crowe were excellent in this.

I live in Yuma, and I didn't even see it

My daughter saw it, and she said it was very slow. Is it worth renting?
